Today, on the last trading day of the week, gold prices increased sharply to nearly 35 USD, reaching a high of 2,418 USD before stabilizing at 2,410 USD at the time of reporting.
Gold's upside was sustained by a recovery from the 34-day moving average (EMA 34), with technical factors continuing to support the price. Many investors believe that gold is receiving strong support as a safe haven, because tensions are increasing in the Middle East. If the conflict continues to escalate, gold prices are likely to reach 2,500 USD in the near future.
